Indonesia is known as a warehouse of medicinal plants so it gets the nickname of “Life Laboratory”. About 30,000 species of medicinal plants are owned by Indonesia. With the richness of the flora, of course Indonesia has the potential to develop herbal products whose quality is equivalent to modern medicine. Only about 1200 species of medicinal plants are used and researched as traditional medicine. Some species of medicinal plants originating from Indonesia's tropical forests are actually used by other countries. For example, Japanese researchers have patented about 40 active compounds from plants originating from Indonesia. Even some of the drugs whose raw materials can be found in Indonesia have been patented and massively produced in other countries, giving a great advantage to the country (Johnherf, 2007). Herbal plants or Indonesian Traditional Medicine is a nation's cultural heritage that needs to be explored, researched, and developed in order to be used more widely by the community. The definition of traditional medicine is ingredients or derived ingredients from plants, animals, minerals, sari (galenic) preparations or mixtures of these ingredients, which have traditionally been used for experiential treatment. In Indonesia, traditional medicine classified into three groups, namely “Jamu” which are traditional herbs that have not been clinically tested, Standardized Herbal Medicine that is traditional medicine that has passed the pre-test clinical stage with animal test, and Phytopharmaca is a traditional medicine that has passed the preclinical test and clinical (applied to humans). Indonesia, which has various types of herbs, managed to attract users. Not only from within the country, foreign tourists became interested in the efficacy of herbal plants are offered. No wonder, the number of tourists increasing in the area that produce many herb plants, one of them Yogyakarta. In addition to offering natural beauty as well as a very beautiful cultural area, Yogyakarta also offers a variety of natural products directly from natural materials. 5 WHO CAN ENROLL IN IPSS 2018?
